On a continuous majority rule
A seminal paper by May characterizes the majority rule in terms of anonymity, neutrality, and positive responsiveness. Since then, there have beenmany characterizations of the majority rule using different axioms by several authors. In this paper, we will introduce the concept of a continuous majority rule which generalizes the previous social welfare functions beyond the discrete values, and u...
متن کاملFinding the majority-rule equilibrium under lexicographic comparison of candidates
This paper considers the well studied problem of the existence of an undominated point, under the assumption of lexicographic preferences of voters, as espoused by Taylor in [24]. We extend Taylor's model to situations were we allow for (i) voters to have different ranings of the issues in ndimensional issue space and (ii) a candidate to be disregarded by a voter if his stand on any one or more...
متن کاملRecognizing Majority-Rule Equilibrium In Spatial Voting Games
It is provably difficult (NP-complete) to determine whether a given point can be defeated in a majority-rule spatial voting game. Nevertheless, one can easily generate a point with the property that if any point cannot be defeated, then this point cannot be defeated. Our results suggest that majority-rule equilibrium can exist as a purely practical matter: when the number of voters and the dime...
متن کاملOn the Optimal Majority Rule
We develop a simple model that accounts for the widely spread intuition that as committees get large, (well chosen) majority rules are preferable to unanimity. The model is one of collective search in which members do not control the proposal put to a vote. The main drawback of unanimity is that it makes it too difficult to find a proposal acceptable by all, which in turn induces extra costly d...
متن کاملEquilibrium Conditions of Class 1 Tensegrity Structures
ABSTRACT. Static models of tensegrity structures are reduced to linear algebra problems, after first characterizing the problem in a vector space where direction cosines are not needed. That is, we describe the components of all member vectors as opposed to the usual practice of characterizing the statics problem in terms of the magnitude of tension vectors. While our approach enlarges (by a fa...
